A majority of Americans in a new poll have a positive association with the term “woke,” understanding it to mean “to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.”
The USA Today-Ipsos poll released on Wednesday found that 56 percent agreed with the more positive definition, while 39 percent had a negative association with the word and understood it to mean “to be overly politically correct and police others’ words.”
However, Americans in the poll are divided on whether they consider it an insult to be described as “woke,” with 40 percent calling it an insult and 32 percent calling it a compliment.
Both of these measures break down along party lines, with Republicans more likely than their Democratic counterparts to have a negative understanding of “wokeness” and to consider it an insult.

What a bunch of maroons.
Right, no doubt this is the same BS poll that had Biden up. So go woke go broke is a myth even though it happens every time. The Hill was always biased but they have really sailed off the rails over the last 2 years. Steaming pile of BS on a daily basis.
All anyone has to do is check the poll’s methodology.
They got what they polled for.
The Hill aka just another Democrats Internet Site
The gaslighting and constant lying is clearly working.
In my neck of the woods, “woke” is essentially a slur . . . a very bad one.
It’s from USA-Away.
No way this is true. Not a soul in this world would sincerely welcome being called “woke” right now. Garbage.
The Hill is just like NRO...rino pussies who get one thing right per year on average. And then only when its safe and undeniable. The Hill has zero understanding of how bad the left is because they ARE the left.
Woke equates to racial injustice....period...and so very anti-white.
Sounds like some people just have a different idea of what the word means than the political usage.
Did any of the pollsters use the word “woke” in context with being a stupid ass, braindead liberal? Many of the ignorant who participate in polls would naturally find being woke in the morning a positive thing.
This is outright lies. No one I know of and I work in a 99.9% minority environment think the word woke is a compliment.
Yep...They are following along with the rest of the liberal rags....
More garbage from the Hill
Aw, it was taken in the lot behind the USA Today building that they use to sneak dope and have breaks and office parties. They counted the poll votes twice to be accurate.
See my tagline:
This is the result of groomer teachers and the leftist media indoctrinating multiple generations.
Poll must have been taken by college kids at woke-pushing colleges.
The Hill is a leftist neo-Marxist site for training propagandists to enter the lying mainstream media.
Chuck Todd ring a bell?
